Thursday, it'll soon be the weekend!

Morning,Sorry to read of so many of you having so much rain this week, hope it's FINALLY stopped for you all and that the sun has (perhaps) made an appearance. The gardeners need the rain .. and this has inspired today's first make to share with you .....

My card

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

I then wondered if I could make the same but different .... instead of using DP I used the flower head to make my pink backing paper ...

And then, on to something almost the polar opposite of the above kind of girly CAS card .... if you visit this blog regularly then you will know I SELDOM use Designer Paper ... not for ages and then, twice this week!!!

My card

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

Snippets of card in white, black and the kraft DP for the image panel and sentiment

Hi Kathy, what a terrific masculine card. Love that widely striped background Designer Paper. It is such a good contrast to the lines of the fellow holding his umbrella. I especially like the way you've used the same Designer Paper as a matte for the image but have reversed the stripes. Thanks so much for joining in with our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

Fabulous cards Kathy and I love the fwo different versions of the flower card and what a great idea to use the flower head to make a patterned edge, and the masculine card with the wide black striped dp which complements the black silhouette image perfectly. x

What a fun Masculine card you've congered up for this week's Watercooler WWC119 Masculine Anything Goes Challenge. The Charlie Chaplin image is priceless and it pairs well with the DSP you've used. Very nice indeed. Thanks for playing along with us this week at the Watercooler.

Hi Kathy! This happens to be a favorite image of mine! I love everything about this card! Your colors, composition and detail are all beautiful! Thanks for joining us this week on Watercooler Wednesday!

About Me

I'm married to an avid radio control model plane enthusiast - every man should have a hobby, especially if it leaves me free to craft without GUILT!!!! We are both free to indulge our hobbies and mine is rubber stamping. Mostly I make cards and ATC's though I've been gradually getting more and more in to mixed media, art journalling and scrap booking!. I'll have a go at most crafts . . . some even more than once!!!

Housekeeping!
